Lcd cracked lens won't open?

\015 The lcd got cracked but i was still able to take pics. Now when I put the battery in the on/off light comes on, the screen lights up, but the lens doesn't move. What are the functions to go from playback to camera mode?\015

Answers :

There is a company in new york that carries parts for small digitial cameras : Camera Repair NYC

The camera was in playback mode, so i tired a few buttons. The button that changes the mode is the +/-.

The lcd screen on my camera cracked, and it had a dark spot on it. I bought a new screen to replace it. I replaced it, but the only thing that happens its the the camera lens opens and everything stops. The lcd screen doesn't come on, and the camera wont power off. is there something that i am doing wrong, or that I need to do to get this to work?
thanks,
Lavoia

Maybe you installed the LCD screen wrongly and it doesn't respond if not properly installed. ...

Am in Italy and my Lumix DMC ZS6 camera was dropped on a stone floor. The LCD is was cracked but the lens tracted and retracted and it took pictures. Two weeks later however, whenI wanted to use the camera, it did not turn on and the lens did not open. Is this simply a matter of replacing the LCD or could it be a bigger problem with the electronics. Would it be better just to buy another camera? Thanks!

Hello LauraWell, as you can imagine, dropping the camera will almost always have bad results. Besides your cracked LCD, i think you might have a circuit problem.In this case, it will be much cheaper to rather buy a new camera, ...

The problem is\015\0121- some dirt somehow got on the outside of the lense. After it was retracted fully in, it prevents the camera from opening again. When you turn it on, if it opens a little bit, try to pull it out NOT too hard and let go ...

Hi The lens cover on my Olympus mju 770sw wont open when I turn it on. I can still view all my pictures and see everything on the screen and if I hold the lens cover open I can see everything and even take pictures but it wont open on its own, although it does close on its own when I turn it off. Please help!

Lens is stuck and wont move. on the screen it states "Turn the power off and on again" help pls?
Was working just fine and then started with the lens not opening...I opened manuelly and now it wont't take pics...I can view them on disc BUT it just says "turn power on and off" on the screen. Help!!!

I agree that the camera needs to be sent back when this happens. I have seen people suggest pulling on the lens (a bad idea) and smacking the camera / rapping it upon something (an even worse idea). Not only will these options often fail ...

Lens error My Casio ex-z60 camara lens wont fully extend.When power is turned on,
a clicking noise is heard. The LCD displays what will be captured, but
is is blury. Then the lens closes and a "lens error" message apears on
the LCD. Sometimes a message that says "retry power on" appears. Every
thing else works fine. I am able to view my pictures .but I can not
take any pictures.. Thank you

This is the lens focus gears. They are either knocked out of alignment, or debris has jammed them. The good news is it can be fixed....Casio most likely won't help. Hint...google my user name. ...

Photosmart r727 camera wont turn on. It begins to power on, then the lens wont open and it'll shut down. If I can manage to get it to stay on, the lens wont focus. I got it just 3 months ago and have barely used it. I charged it one day, and then when I went to start it was the first time this began to happen.

When i power the camera the lens appears to open however the lcd screen is black then when I take a picture and review it it is black as well. I think the lens is not opening even though I can hear it open

Canon Powershot A610 digital camera--LCD screen shows icons, but otherwise is blank--there is no visible movement in the lens when I take a picture without flash--have tried setting it on TV setting and taking a picture, then opening the battery cover for a few seconds after waiting 7 seconds or so, but no images on the LCD except the camera's icons--ideas? probably a stuck shutter, or is it still possibly the CCD sensor even though there's no visible movement in the lens? Ideas? Thanks!

Much more likely that it's a stuck shutter, especially for your model camera. How many tries did you give the fix? Some people stated that it took at least 15 repeated tries before the shutter opened:\015\012\015\012\015\012 ...

After turning on, the Off button stops working and the only way to turn of the camera is by removing the battery.
